Curbell Plastics: Plastics for Medical Device Applications - (PPT)

摘要

Today's Medical Equipment manufacturers utilizing plastic components need information on the newest polymers, the latest design information and manufacturing methods for their medical devices. This presentation covers the design-for-manufacturability considerations for manufacturing machined plastic medical device components: Selecting plastics that meet agency compliance standards including FDA, ISO 10993, and USP Class VI for medical applications; Medical plastics with enhanced mechanical properties (strength, stiffness, and toughness) for demanding surgical applications; Medical plastics engineered for repeated sterilization (autoclave, gamma, and ETO); Part geometry tips to improved the performance of plastic medical devices.
